I've always found blogs interesting. They never quite appealed to me when I was younger, yet now I'm writing one.
As I grew older I grew increasigly interested in reading other poeple's blogs. They always felt like mini essays. Just a short snippet of someone's ideas writted down in a digestable way.
Since I have been asked to make website I decided to at least also add a blog post to it. I don't have much to write about the topic of writing blogs, because It's the first time I ever wrote one. Instead, I can write a bit on what exactly I've set up.
To run this website, I've opted to use Zola. As far as static website generators go, this one isn't very difficult to work with. I honestly only chose it because it's written in rust. But it allows me to write down a bunch of content really quickly. For example:
If I write some markdown. By simply adding *stars* around my text it becomes bold
If I were to write with HTML, I'd have to wrap everything in <strong>strong</strong> tags. But also other features like tables are easy to add.
I am however not quiet sure how accessible my website will become. Since I'm not using any difficult CSS or Javascript, it should be very easy for browsers to read the contents.
What I am curious about, is if I can make it so that the date gets automatically fetched from git somehow. So that I don't have to manually update when I've edited or added a new blogpost.
